If you are a fan of Strother Martin be sure to catch this episode if you get a chance. His portrayal of a small town chicken farmer seeking to right a wrong is absolutely classic. His distinctive voice and delivery make his character funny and believable at the same time. The transformation from comic chicken farmer to his courtroom performance is endearing.

Strother Martin at his best

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best in the long running series, "Death Valley Days". Strother gets short changed for the loss of his chickens after a fire on his farm. The insurance agent shorts him but is not until his wife points out the mistake that he learns of being bilked out of $4.00. With the help of a school teacher, Strother memorizes his case against the insurance agent and simply stuns the court and everyone tbere. This is Strother at his best. I dare say that no one else could have played this part any better. So, sit back and enjoy this episode, my friends; it does not get much better than this. Thanks to IMDb for bringing this our way.
